The invention discloses an ecological
lotus root and soft-shelled turtle coexistence culture method, which includes the following steps: (1) preparation of a culture pond: the area of the culture pond is 3 mu to 5 mu, the pond depth is 1.2m to 1.5m, baffles are laid around the pond
bank, and after the pond is constructed, the bottom soil is dug loose by 15cm to 20cm deep; a feeding platform and a sunning platform need to be built on the culture pond; (2) planting of
lotus roots: in January or February, the
lotus roots are planted into the pond bottom, the planting area of the lotus roots is one third to half of the pond area, the
water level is slightly low at the
budding time of the lotus roots, and as the stems and leaves of the lotus roots flourish gradually, the
water level is increased gradually; (3)
stocking of
juvenile soft-shelled turtles: in May or June, the
juvenile soft-shelled turtles are chosen, 650 to 1000
juvenile soft-shelled turtles are stocked per mu, and before being stocked into the pond, the juvenile soft-shelled turtles are disinfected; (4) coexistence culture of the lotus roots and the soft-shelled turtle. The ecological
lotus root and soft-shelled turtle coexistence culture method disclosed by the invention is a high-efficiency culture pattern, on one hand, the
utilization rate of water resource and land resource and yield can be increased, and on the other hand, a mutual benefit relation is established between
aquaculture and vegetable and fruit cultivation.
